The release branch is frozen since March 1st. The idea being no changes and if there is a pressing need please run them by me first.
Yes, I know. I just didn't know who I was supposed to run them by. Sorry.
Sorry, it's a little bit weird. If you knew about the freeze you could have posted a patch saying "I don't know who's supposed to approve this, but there's a patch".
I guess for now we have to hope this one does not break anything.
It shouldn't, but if it does, it is a trivial rollback.
Depends on the meaning of "trivial". A commit that touches a library that many other libraries depends on might trigger rebuild of a lot of tests, and that would take a lot of time. So, assuming a commit breaks something, we spend a couple of days running tests after the change, notice breakage, trivially rollback it, and wait a couple days for new results, which easily translates into 4 days, during which time results of other changes are not updated as often as desired. - Volodya
